According to studies done by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the lakes and streams across Minnesota are contaminated by

pharmaceuticals, cosmetic ingredients, and endocrine-disrupting compounds. Even in remote areas of the state, chemicals such as antibiotics, nicotine breakdown products, antidepressants, and medications to regulate diabetes, cholesterol, and blood pressure, were detected. The insect repellent DEET was detected in 91% of the lakes studied. Previous studies showed that these compounds often turned up downstream from wastewater treatment plants but recent research has shown that they are also found even in remote lakes or upstream waters.
Researchers believe that these chemicals enter the water table through septic systems and stormwater __________ and are not impacted by wastewater treatment plants.
A) collection

In order for a sedimentary rock (made of particles) to form, what must occur?
wolverine [178]
First, preexisting rocks must weather/erode, forming the sediment that will eventually form the sedimentary rock. Then, that sediment must settle someplace, and over a long period of time, pressure begins to build. This causes the sediments to become compacted. After a long period of time (and a lot of pressure), the sediments cement together and form a sedimentary rock. In a nutshell, sedimentary rocks form through compaction, cementation, and eventually... lithification.
